One Hundred Famous Views of Edo No.109Samezu seacoast at South Shinagawa
One of several possible origins of the name Samezu—which means “Shark Shore,” is the legend of a Kannon statue found in the belly of a shark. Another theory suggests that it is a corruption of “Samizu.” Shinagawa’s Samezu Coast was a major producer of nori seaweed, which was sold as “Asakusa nori.” Asakusa was famous for its nori but stopped producing early in the Edo Period. Despite this, it continued be sold as Asakusa nori because of the strength of the brand.

Since ukiyo-e have unusual aspect ratios, putting them in off-the-shelf frames often results in an unnatural balance between the margins and the print.

These frames can be used vertically or horizontally by simply repositioning the cord, making it easy to display different prints. And since they use light yet durable acrylic instead of glass, transportation is a stress-free experience.
